    Default How do I host a website?

    I have been checking out Hostgator to host a wordpress blog or any website. I have checked into Yahoo as well as GoDaddy. I had GoDaddy at one time and could not figure it out for the life of me. I looked at the site builder on Hostgator and it was pretty user friendly, but I want to put google adsense and other affiliate links on my site. Can I even put java script or html on the site builders?

    I checked out the CP portion with all of the specifics, but I do not understand what any of it means. I know a little about html, enough to make a website, but where would I put it? It mentioned something about Frontpage, but is it something I have to have already or does Hostgator come with it? Where do I put the code to actually make a site? What does all of this mumbo jumbo mean?

    I have not much idea of a hostgator.. but let me ask some few questions and I might be able to point you to the right direction....

    Do you have Cpanel/Direct Admin/V Deck or similar admin interface..
    Are you provided with something like ftp.yoursite.com

    Do you know how to login to your ftp server if provided...

    you know what... just post the description of your host details... I will tell you what to do next...
    Where from, Why here, Where to..?
    May god bless, who he wishes to bless!!

    What kind of site do you want to host?

    Most of the hosting sites provides the software in their control panel so it is easy to setup with just few clicks.

    Yeah I agree where is the person that started this thread as we haven't heard back in regards to how she is doing with it but for files ftp - file transfer protocol is the way to go.

    This topic has become inactive and is starting to go off topic. Originally about how to create a site and upload files.

    Therefore it is to be locked.
